Not as long as all developers add an ATTRIBUTION.md citing all open source projects they read the source for, all companies they worked for and trained them and all Stack Overflow answers they have used for write the code.

Oh? You are under the impression that software gets the same rights and privileges of humans?
Or maybe you are under the impression that you are so special that you face no danger from having no income because the models already ingested all your work and can launder it effectively?
Not everything has to be symmetrical. I’m sure there is a name for that logical fallacy.
I don't consider it a logical fallacy so much as a philosophical debate on art vs theft that exists in both human and AI worlds.
IMO Nothing and nobody starts out original. We need copying to learn, to build a foundation of knowledge and understanding. Everything is a copy of something else (or put another way, art is more like a sum of your influences). The only difference is how much is actually copied, and how obvious it is.
And in the US at least, from a legal perspective, this "how obvious is it" subjective test is often one way that copyright disputes are settled.
For example there have been many cases of similar sounding songs that either did in fact draw an influence from an existing track (whether consciously or not), or were more likely just coincidental... but courts have ruled both ways in such cases, even if they sound extremely similar.
